For those worried about the future pick for Baker, I believe we are past the point where the higher pick would kick in. This is NFL Week 11 that we are heading into, and Baker only played the first 5 weeks. So with 7 games left even if he starts I don't believe he qualifies, I saw a breakdown that went into detail somewhere, but even still if he could the team would sit him if needed towards the end of the year. 

I'd anticipate a Sam Darnold start or two in the final weeks with the guise of ''to see what we have''. 

Baker can still reach the mark.  Based on the first 10 games of the year, our offense should have around 1020 snaps over the course of the year.  So far, Baker has played 315 snaps.  If he gets all the snaps the rest of the year he would end with about 750 snaps.  Just over the number required to hit the 4th/5th round mark.

I've done my best to estimate the snaps for the rest of the year. If Baker starts all remaining games and the team averaged 65 offensive snaps he is around 74%. Move 65 snaps to Sam or PJ and he is around 68%. So they need Sam or PJ to play one more full game to keep that 4th round pick.

Stop using Baker. I don't want to give up a 4th for him. Either way we are going to simply be crushed by the Ravens. They might not even throw a pass. Just run over Burns all day. 

I’m pretty sure this has passed or is very very close. He’s missed 4.5 games. No chance he hits the threshold

I would also rather start Sam. Honestly I think he is the better QB and with a good oline and running game I think he could thrive. 

With us, out of the top 3 in the draft, our best solution STILL is that Sam or Baker put it together and become a legit starter. 

If one of them does become that, than our top 8 pick suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. 

There's more truth to this than a lot of us want to admit.

Both of those guys deserve a chance to perform without Rhule here. Give them each three games to start before the end of the season.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
